As the Syrian civil war and refugee crisis rages on, CRS staff Caroline Brennan recently visited the region to learn more about the Church’s ongoing efforts to help Syrian refugees. Her story highlights the ongoing struggles many refugee families face, and their desire to return home once it’s safe.

Thanks to you, hundreds of letters calling for a peaceful and political solution to end the conflict in Syria were delivered to Congress over the past few weeks. Your continued prayers and letters are still needed. Consider connecting your friends, family and parish community with the latest news and resources to expand the prayer and action circle for our brothers and sisters fleeing the violence in Syria.
